Srinagar: Jamu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah welcomed a ceasefire between India and Pakistan on Saturday, saying it was late than nothing.
He added: “Late late is better than not, but if this ceasefire is two or three days, maybe the bleeding we see and the precious life we ​​have lost is safe.”
Abdullah said Pakistan’s DGMO called his Indian counterparts and they agreed to establish another ceasefire in Jamu and Kashmir and elsewhere.
He added: “Now, it is the responsibility of the JK government to provide relief and compensation to those who suffer during this period. We have announced compensation for the precious lives. Now, we will have to compensate those injured.”
The Chief Minister said that in Chamu, Ponchi, Rajuri, Tandal and other border areas, cross-border shelling and attacks caused a lot of damage.
“Now, we also hope that we can resume flights to J, because we cannot send pilgrims to J, as the airport is closed,” he said.
